Patent number: 11959950Abstract: A power meter for measuring power usage in a circuit includes preprocessor and a weighting network. The pre-processor is configured to receive toggle data for a number of power proxy signals in the circuit for a plurality of clock cycles of the circuit in a first time window. The power proxy signals and weighting values are determined automatically from simulated or emulated toggle data. For each power proxy signal, the pre-processor averages the toggle data over one or more clock cycles in one or more second time windows, within the first time window, to provide averaged toggle data, and outputs the averaged toggle data for each second time window. The weighting network is configured to combine the averaged toggle data from the power proxy signals, based on a set of weight values, to provide a measure of the power usage.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Arm LimitedInventors: Xiaoqing Xu, Zhiyao Xie, Shidhartha Das, Matthew James Walker, Kumara Guru Palaniswamy, Matthew Paul Elwood

Publication number: 20230351339Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to security settlement in financial markets and cryptographic currencies. Particular portions of the present disclosure are directed to a cryptographic currency protocol and to a cryptographic currency that includes a positional item. The cryptographic currency protocol supports a virtual wallet that, in various embodiments, is a security and cash account for storing and managing the cryptographic currency. Opening a transaction via the virtual wallet to transfer the cryptographic currency is a strong guarantee of the availability of funds in the virtual wallet because, e.g., funds are not transacted unless the commit phase is successful.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Paul Walker, Phil J.
